-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Anne,
> I've had an FSFE smartcard for around 3 years, without a clue about how to > use it. I use it every day, in fact this messages is signed by it. Did you try to find out how to use it? There is some documentation, both on FSFE and on GnuPG side: http://fsfe.org/fellowship/card.en.html https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html If you need assistance, feel free to contact me off-list. It will be easier to phone actually since there are considerations that should be discussed first. Ideally, you would provide a writeup afterwards that we could use on our site. Apart from that, I asked Joey what the difference between his card and Werner's OpenPGP Smartcard (which is the FSFE card). He replied (but did not add the answer to the FAQ on kickstarter): It differs in a couple of ways. The g10 card is a contact-only interface; this card is dual interface, which means it could potentially work with NFC devices like Android tablets and smart phones. The g10 card is also not open source. This card is open source, written for the JavaCard platform, and the code is openly available here: https://github.com/josecastillo/OpenPGP-Card Having said that, the g10 card does offer one feature that this card does not. The g10 card supports adjustable key sizes; this card only supports 2048-bit keys. I wrote about the rationale behind this in the project FAQ, but it is important to mention because if you have a key larger than 2048 bits, this won't work for you. Having said that, the g10 card has been out of stock at kernelconcepts since last June, and if you click the link on the page you sent, their store is currently down. I'm not aware of any other sources for the g10 card at this time. I checked KernelConcepts: their site yields The shop will is temporarily closed. If you have an urgend need of OpenPGP cards or Gemalto Shell token card reader, feel free to contact us. So, basically, write them an E-Mail and you'll get it anyway. Concerning "The g10 card is also not open source.", I cannot comment on. But the spec is available at http://g10code.com/p-card.html Olav - -- The Enigmail Project - OpenPGP Email Security For Mozilla Applications -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Dies ist eine elektronische Signatur - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQGcBAEBCAAGBQJVBrUPAAoJEKGX32tq4e9WtaEL/iLNeJgZ84CjbPne7QqT96dn f9OXCUJMlp644EhVgA3bybnwwZ283Ra4svAB1gg/UBoHSA+snz9fHAKZ6+5UiOtB uQYx5B2sBB64Ih0fEc8Zn5Ew5d6LK8g7OHVlAjJMt78xbL3/Vveoocz/B1nGuJtH Df9/hlJoaq8ZISsv5rv7jwztt0qKuvz8UVgkZQrBWpYZH4ahJrC7/mjBu6WsPVie QMlvtGwrmdpf5Ye/u/HTYnjvM+F4yopeEtPH1b1r0y0tNen5N1lgrjEnccDsw+qG SK0ZhtOOWC7tM4U+oKJjT/JWSf+FxA5KzxXTi4eHuUQn696qbxv2X+BXnH8OHoLV ktFLuNnOdMS1loGt1NGKM3sJ+s/IO09kSsGndQLz8XKoIDhIIG+9brYn7yXT8kR4 P1upPgu4i7rtFHQXxcTsVrbhflrt9xBfiYBM/6lzovSxFkWP2rA7BS085gcK3iET iV8O5lSPKLeadd21YZ5uy/hFcQes1CssI5dDRwUhyA== =Jg9D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
